Terrrible aches in legs
Hi there. After 5 years on Tamoxifen, and being 55 now post-menopausal, I switched to Anastrozole a few months ago together with Alendronic Acid (as I found out I also had osteoporosis). I was initially really pleased not have that unpleasant 'simmering' feeling I endured throughout the 5 years on Tamoxifen

Anyone here taking Raloxifene?

Im going on a 4.5 hour flight in 10 days and wondered if anyone had any experience of airports i.e tamoxifen or whether you were advised to stop taking it before you

I am a breast cancer survivor, been through mastectomy and chemotherapy and am on Tamoxifen. Have had anxiety attacks since I was diagnosed but lately, it is on a daily basis. It is getting worse as I feel nausea, no appetite, chills, sad and crying for no reason. Have spoken to my doctors and they said

Upper arm, neck and shoulder pain

Tamoxifen advice please???
I know this is Off Topic, but I know the majority here are ladies, so hoped I could get some advice. Or at least direction to a more suitable forum? My wife had breast cancer 3 years ago. Thankfully, the small lump was removed successfully & after 6 weeks radiotherapy, she was given the all clear.

Coping With Depression and Anxiety as a Breast Cancer Patient
From Yahoo News "Depression is caused by a range of biological and environmental circumstances, but a common trigger in many people is severe stress or trauma. The shock of receiving a breast cancer diagnosis certainly qualifies as a major stressor, so it shouldn't be surprising that depression is a
